As other reviews indicate, much of this book is unreadable due to the print running off the edge of many pages throughout the ebook. This renders many sentences incomplete and difficult or impossible to understand. This is unfortunate given the high esteem in which the author of the book holds throughout running culture nationwide. Barnes & Noble should really correct this issue and then reissue a corrected copy to all of us who will have otherwise wasted their money.
